‘The Flash’ Movie Remains in Limbo

‘The Dark Knight’ producer Charles Roven recently spoke about the big screen version of ‘The Flas’h and he provided a big of an update.

“I was involved at one point with’ The Flash’,” said Roven. “And Warner Bros. came to me and said, ‘The work that you’ve been doing hasn’t yet resulted in something that any of us, including the filmmaking team, feel could be greenlit as a movie. We’re trying to accomplish something that takes into account the entire, rich DC character world, and we’d like to pull it back. That doesn’t mean that you aren’t going to be a part of it. We just want to take a different kind of approach. Do you mind if we try that?’ If we had something that was really working…”

“Like, for example, they had something that was more or less working for them on Green Lantern, and now you have Martin Campbell directing it… But we didn’t,” Roven continued. “The David Goyer screenplay, that didn’t work. Goyer left the project. We then embarked with David Dobkin, trying to come up with another approach. We hadn’t even hired a writer at that point. So for us, we completely understood. I’ve been making movies with Warner Bros. for 15 years, so that was fine, but I hope one day there’s a way for me to get re-involved in the project. “

I wonder if the studio guys ever explained to Roven what they wanted. They probably can’t put it into words, they just know what they don’t want, which is probably anything remotely original and creative.
